I found this to be true as well two or three gal at best, I captured all of it in a small plastic cement mixing tub you can get for $6 at the Home Fix-it up places.

Soo, since Bentely say to bleed by jacking the thing up, so the front end is 15" higher than the rear, yeah thats a bunch, I did nose high thing, then pulled both of the drain plugs from the cylinder head bottoms. LOOK OUT, it really gushes. This time,I got 4 plus out and I put 4 plus gallons in. BTW if you can't put 4 gallons plus in to it, then what ever you can add is exactly what you got out of it.
